TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, W. V. V. WILSON, of Savannah, in the county of Chatham, and State ofA Georgia, have invented a new and improved Pill Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following isla full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, had to the accompanying drawings, forming akpart of this specification, -in Whch- Figure 'I represents a transverse section"ot`this invention, the line :v x, fig. 3, indicating the plane of section. l f

' Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.

Figure 3`is`an inverted plan of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention consists in the arrangement of adjustable rails on the sides of the board of a pill machine in sucha manner that saidrails can he raised or lowered to corres duced, and the rolling of the dough is materially facilitated.

A represents the board of' a pill machine, oneportion of which serves to roll out the dough, While its other portion is occupied lby 4a series ot' semi-cylindrical channels, a, which,lin combination with similar channels b on the rubber B, serve to cut the sticks o'f dough into pills. The rubber B extends over the edges of the board A, and the Hat back of said rubber serves to roll out the dough on the board. the proper rolling depends entirely upon' the skill of the operator, and it requires great practice'to produce sticks of' uniform thickness throughout. This diiiiculty is obviated by the application of adjustable rails C to the edges of the board A. These rails are raised or lowered simultaneously by a hand-screw, D,and they support the rubber B. By these means the distance of said rubber from the surface of the bbard can be adjusted, and sticks of a uniform thickness throughout can bc produced without diiiiculty. v

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The adjustable rails C, in combination with the board A and'rubb described.
